About

The story

Hunewill Peak is a mountain with a summit elevation of 11,713 feet (3,570 m) located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Mono County of northern California, United States. The summit is set in Hoover Wilderness on land managed by Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest. The peak is situated approximately four miles west of Twin Lakes, 1.3 mile southwest of Victoria Peak, and 2.4 miles southwest of line parent Eagle Peak. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into tributaries of Robinson and Buckeye Creeks, which are within the Walker River drainage basin. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 3,500 feet (1,100 meters) above Robinson Creek in approximately one mile (1.6 km).
